ABOUT MIA

I'm passionate about supporting you in discovering a healing space that provides emotional safety and fosters collaboration. Nobody knows you better than you. I am here to guide you inward toward the parts of yourself you may have forgotten, towards possible patterns that may be challenging to look at, and, ultimately the barriers that keep you from having the most fulfilling experiences. I am here to support you in rediscovering the relationship with yourself,

so that you can feel most alive. Additionally, to honor any feelings towards what feelings may arise in considering such an experience.

​

I believe true integration and embodied recovery is being yourself wherever you are. I also acknowledge the potential terror that may arise in feeling fully alive. Together, we’ll

make space for the fullness of whatever may arise for you. 

​

I stay connected via nature; hiking and the ocean keep me rooted. I've been practicing yoga for more than half my life. If I've learned anything, it's that you can take your mat anywhere metaphorically. Furthermore, the ocean has no limits.

​

I look forward to meeting you!
